How to remove 6 series roof rails

Cryptikz · 08-12-2024, 06:31 PM

Can't find any information on these, how do I take out the roof rails on the 6 series? I want to repaint/wrap mine

Thanks!

Thankfully the pic you posted indicated that you have 4 doors…you still only have a 2013 3 series listed as the car you drive. Remember to post your model etc so that you can get the correct answers, suggestions, recommendations, etc.

From the diagram below, the roof rails are #1 in the diagram and are secured to the roof with #4, #5, & #8 (for those that aren't familiar with the parts diagram...the encircled numbers in the diagram represent hardware & usually have their own index within the diagram):

Wow thank you so much Q!

Updating my profile right now, thank again! I'll be trying to re-wrap these gloss black tomorrow.

I'll try my best! And will definitely post an update pic when done

A local shop just quoted me $600 for the rails and my spoiler 😳😅
